Chapter 40 Agreement

After asking around, the answer is basically the same as what Zhu Dalong said. Suzaku was a little puzzled, could it be that they colluded? Suddenly, Suzaku thought of a crucial question. He kept asking about the amount of rent, ignoring the output at this time.

I found a few more people, and when I asked, I realized that the level of agriculture at this time was not a little worse than that of modern times. The average yield per mu can reach a little more than 200 catties. This year's wind and rain are smooth, and the yield per mu has reached about 250 catties, which is already very good. If there is a year of disaster, it will not even reach 100 catties. Therefore, the rent of 200 catties per mu is very harsh.

Suzaku thought carefully for a while, gathered everyone into the living room, took a deep breath, and slowly said a great news.

"What if I leave you 200 catties of grain every time I pay rent in the future?"

When everyone heard this, they blew up the pot.

"Leave us 200 pounds of grain? Is it true? ”

"The girl is a liar, can she really guarantee it?"

"Isn't that the same as giving the land directly to us? It's definitely a lie. ”

……

Suzaku coughed, and everyone fell silent, looking at Suzaku with blank eyes.

"If you don't want to, then what I say is in vain."

"Yes, a fool is unwilling."

"Of course I do!"

"Is this true? Yes, I raise eight hands willingly. ”

……

Everyone was so happy that they almost jumped up, and they rushed to say it one by one.

"But I'm conditional."

As soon as they heard that there were conditions, everyone's enthusiasm was like pouring a basin of cold water, and it cooled down all of a sudden. I muttered in my heart.

"This Vermilion Bird girl is not simple, wasn't Yao Biren just cleaned up by him?"

"Do you want us to sell our lives to him? That doesn't work. ”

……

When Suzaku saw it, he knew that everyone would be wrong, so he hurriedly added.

"My conditions are very simple, no matter how much you harvest, you will be satisfied with 200 catties of grain, and the surplus will be delivered to me. As for what to plant, what seeds to use, and how to manage it, I have the final say. If you agree, sign the agreement now. ”

How could everyone disagree, and they stepped forward one after another, for fear that Suzaku would regret it.

There are two crops a year, wheat in the summer and corn, millet or cotton in the autumn. This season, when it is time to plant wheat, Suzaku made an agreement with them to pick up the seeds three days later. As for this year's rent, Suzaku only asked him to pay a hundred catties, which was considered to be a sweetness first, and it was also sent three days later, and it could be directly put in the warehouse at home.

Suzaku did this because she had the confidence. There are seeds in the warehouse, which I saw the last time I opened them, precisely the seeds of wheat and corn, and there is also fertilizer. One of the most fundamental differences between ancient agriculture and modern agriculture is the difference in seeds. With modern high-yielding and disease-resistant seeds, supplemented by chemical fertilizers, the yield will definitely reach about 1,000 catties per mu in the coming year.

Of course, seeds cannot be recycled indefinitely, and after three or four years, the yield will definitely drop, but it will also be much better than the ancient seeds.

Besides, Suzaku doesn't have a big appetite, and just wants to be a rich woman who has no worries about food and clothing, and then find a caring person who knows cold and warmth, which is enough for this life.

Although there is still a place in the heart, a position that is not allowed to be occupied, so what? is destined to be a life with no intersection, but it only adds to the sadness.

Looking at the time, the sun was already tilting to the west, and I remembered that there were still half-cooked chickens in the kitchen. Make a fire, pour rapeseed oil into the pot, add the marinated chicken after the oil is hot, and a tangy fragrance comes out, quickly covering up the loss in my heart. As the saying goes, a good meal is not afraid of being late, but Ah Da and Ah Er wiped the plate three times with steamed buns before they reluctantly put it down.

Three days later, the grain was collected in the storehouse and the tenants were asked to take the wheat seeds they had prepared. The days entered the dull again, and Suzaku calmed down, not thinking about anything, and immersed himself in the sea of books. The books are in a warehouse, a whole container, estimated to be the goods of a certain library, there are not many duplicates, and the types cover all subjects. Suzaku deeply knows the importance of knowledge, and the lessons of the previous life do not want to continue in this life, only by studying hard and accumulating, can we face life calmly.

In the blink of an eye, winter is coming, a few heavy snowfalls, the earth is plated with thick silver, and the Spring Festival is coming.

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival and is the most important of all festivals. Commonly known as the New Year, New Year, New Year, New Year, New Year, New Year, New Year, etc., it is also known verbally as the New Year, the New Year, the New Year, and the New Year. People start the "busy year" from the twenty-third or twenty-fourth day of the year, and the new year does not end until the 19th day of the first month.

From another point of view, the Spring Festival is a day of reunion. Whether it is from Tiannan or Haibei, on this day, you have to rush home, eat reunion dinner, and worship your ancestors.

All this reunion and excitement have nothing to do with Suzaku. Ah Da and Ah Er also rushed home, and the whole courtyard was deserted, and Suzaku was the only one. Listening to the laughter of other people's homes, watching the rising smoke curling, and smelling the ubiquitous aroma of wine and meat, Suzaku felt more and more lonely.

All happiness has nothing to do with oneself, the warmth of family affection only exists in the imagination, oneself is like a lonely bird flying on the sea, there is no place to stay, only desperate to fly, and then fly.

Suzaku doesn't have any appetite, and eating becomes a requirement to stay alive. Humans are social animals, and not everyone can be independent of the world, and Suzaku is no exception.

The closed courtyard door was banged, and Suzaku was very surprised, not knowing who would come. Open the door, it was the old patriarch.

Invite the old patriarch into the living room, and the old patriarch will tell his intentions.

"Suzaku girl, I can be regarded as your elder in terms of age, and I and your father-in-law are okay in terms of friendship, come to my house for the Chinese New Year this year, don't be alone in the courtyard."

Suzaku should be happy, but for some reason his eyes are red. It's rare for someone to remember themselves, how can they not be touched!

Before he could answer the old patriarch, a group of people came to Hula in the courtyard, and the tenants led by Zhu Dalong came to the courtyard. They all entered the house in a crowded manner, and they all asked Suzaku to come to their house for the New Year.

Someone from outside came again, it was the neighbors, and they also invited Suzaku.

Suzaku couldn't express his current mood, thinking that he was abandoned by the world, but he didn't expect it to be warm. The simple nostalgia warmed the distance of thousands of years, and the Suzaku was drunk and drunk in this deep friendship.

As a result, Suzaku's itinerary was arranged by everyone. From east to west, go door to door for a day, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and arrange the stops and stops.

Suzaku will not fail everyone's kindness, so he gladly accepted it.

The New Year is happy, but what Suzaku doesn't know is that just after the New Year, there was bad news.
